在熟知盱眙法院民一庭庭長姚月梅的人看來,姚月梅無疑是美的,她的美,正如滋養她的盱眙這片靈山秀水,美得素璞、大方,更兼十幾年法官生涯的歷練,使她的美憑添了幾分溫厚、博大。2013年底,她理所當然地被評為淮安市最美法官。

 

近日,記者慕名到盱眙法院采訪。

 

在民一庭那間稍顯擁擠的會議室,記者向剛剛研討完案件的幾位法官說明來意。聽說是來采訪姚庭長的先進事跡,他們便爭先恐后你一言我一語地說開了。這個說,姚庭長是盱眙法院最忙的人,每年自己要辦近200件案件,還要審核簽發1000多份法律文書;那個說,姚庭長的業務水平高,連續多年辦案無發改無投訴。內勤余瑞還拿出兩年前刊登姚月梅先進事跡的報紙,向記者講述姚月梅的感人故事。他深有感觸地說:

 

“姚庭長美就美在對人民群眾的的感情真”

 

余瑞向記者介紹說,姚庭長的為民情懷體現在她所辦理的每一個具體案件中。2012年,為了彌合專程從臺灣回來作證的88歲老人王某親屬因遺產繼承產生的矛盾,使老人不留遺憾,姚庭長二十多次上門調解,終于在老人返臺的前一天晚上十點多鐘達成了調解協議。今年春節前夕,老人再度回鄉探親,看到一家人和睦如初,感念姚庭長為此付出的心血,打電話邀請姚庭長參加他們的家宴,姚庭長婉言謝絕說,“每個家庭都能和睦幸福,就是我們大陸法官最大的心愿。”2011年,姚庭長為了讓身患重病長年臥床的離婚案件女當事人小王今后的生活能有所依靠,沒有簡單下判,而是苦口婆心反復調解,多次請婦聯以及鎮村民調組織做工作,使生活并不寬裕的男方自愿舉債補償了6萬元生活費用,并協調民政部門為小王辦理了低保。現在,姚庭長還時常惦著這個特殊的當事人,不時帶領庭里的同志上門看望。在盱眙縣官灘鎮漁溝村,記者見到了仍然臥病在床身體十分虛弱的小王,小王激動地對記者說:“如果不是姚庭長,我恐怕就活不到今天了。”

 

在民一庭法官的引導下,記者采訪了盱眙法院分管民事審判工作的副院長李家銳,李院長對記者說:

 

“姚庭長美就美在做矛盾化解工作的盯勁足”

 

李院長告訴記者,姚月梅善于做群眾工作,辦法多,盯勁足,她經辦的許多案件在訴訟階段就能案結事了,深受群眾信賴。201212月的一天,他和姚月梅正在研究案件,辦公室來了幾位農民工,其中一個從上衣口袋中掏出一把縐巴巴的欠條,情緒激動地說,“我們是代表126位農民工來的。我們辛辛苦苦在工地上打了近一年的工,不想工頭卻意外死亡了,欠下我們46萬元工資款。開發商說與工頭之間的工程款已經結清了,工頭的家屬說家里沒有錢,躲著不肯見我們,信訪局也解決不了我們的問題。我們知道這錢不好要,搞不好要落空,可我們還是想死馬當作活馬醫,請法院幫我們一把,家里可等著這錢過年啊。”這一群體性糾紛的化解重任理所當然地壓到姚月梅的肩上。姚月梅在與農民工的交談中,敏銳地覺察到,這起糾紛如果處理不當,126個農民工可能越級群訪,個別人甚至會走極端。為了防止矛盾激化,姚月梅一次一次做農民工的說服疏導工作,引導他們相信法院、相信法律,使他們的情緒逐步得到穩定。此后多次到縣委政法委、縣公安局、建設局協調,不厭其煩地做開發商的工作。通過多方努力,終于使這批案件起死回生。在公安局的幫助下,工頭的家屬找到了,迫于法律的威嚴,她不得不拿出工頭生前存在外地一商業銀行的20萬元存單;開發商也被姚月梅的執著所感動,主動帶著現金支票找到姚月梅說:“寧可我們虧也不能虧了農民工,剩下的26萬我們認了!” 126位農民工喜獲工資款后,紛紛對當時前來采訪的媒體記者說,“感謝法院,感謝法官!”

 

戴金平是盱眙第一代律師,在盱眙法院從事訴訟代理已經三十多年了,親眼見證了姚月梅十幾年的法官歷程 。他告訴記者:

“姚庭長美就美在堅持公正司法的原則性強”

 

戴金平說,姚月梅的司法公信,源自于她能始終堅守司法公正的底線。2011年底,盱眙世豪房產66戶業主因開發商以種種借口,遲遲不給業主辦理房產證,一些業主因沒有房產證明孩子上不了學、辦不了貸款、轉售不掉房屋。在多次交涉無果的情況下,到縣里上訪,經縣里相關領導及信訪部門反復協調均沒有得到解決,最后訴訟到法院,要求開發商辦證并支付違約金。承辦法官姚月梅在找開發商了解情況時,公司老板自以為公司是招商引資企業,有政府“罩著”,法院也不能把他們怎么樣,一次、兩次、三次,故意躲著不見,并請縣里一位領導向姚月梅施壓。姚月梅頂著壓力,依法對其釋明敗訴的風險。開發商并不死心,請那位領導再次“打招呼”,要求不判或少判違約金。姚月梅耐心地向這位領導匯報了案情,得到了這位領導的理解和支持。可開發商仍心存僥幸,覺得法院不會“真判”,對業主的合理要求置之不理。姚月梅果斷地選擇其中有代表性的一件案件開庭,組織其他業主來旁聽,并及時判決。開發商見姚月梅較了真,放棄了非份的想法,很快與其他業主達成了調解協議。

 

循著民一庭幾位法官提供的線索,記者采訪了盱眙法院分管執行工作的專委賈曉紅。賈專委向記者描述了她心目中姚月梅的另一個側面:

 

“姚庭長美就美在嚴于律己的意志堅”

 

賈曉紅與姚月梅是民一庭的前后任庭長,倆人經常在一起交流工作中的酸甜苦辣。姚月梅常說,雖然辦案中會有許多困擾,但只要沒有私心,一切問題都會迎刃而解。賈曉紅告訴記者,姚月梅的一個親戚幾年前起訴一公司民間借貸,案件判決后申請法院執行。由于公司資金鏈出了問題,舉步維艱,案子一直沒有執行掉。這幾年民一庭審理這個公司的案件有近百件,經過姚月梅協調在訴訟階段公司就東挪西湊拿錢解決問題的也有二三十件,可姚月梅從來沒有利用工作便利為自己親戚的案件謀取半點好處。姚月梅的潔身自好在全縣是出了名的,雖然有一些當事人試圖對她請吃送禮,但沒有誰能夠撼動她廉潔自律的“防線”。一次姚月梅的一位老領導以朋友小聚的名義請了她,她到飯店后發現一個律師和一個當事人的哥哥也在場,當即離開飯店,這位老領導追出很遠,連聲責備姚月梅“不給面子”。

 

采訪結束前,記者與姚月梅進行了面對面交談。姚月梅說:“一個法官該做什么不該做什么,法律、制度、倫理有明確的要求和評判標準,我這十幾年只是做了一名基層民事法官該做的事。”從姚月梅樸實的話語里,記者感悟到,恪守法官職業道德正是滋養姚月梅美的源泉,姚月梅也正是以她的堅守,詮釋著人民法官美的真諦。
